I am brand new to Linux. I just installed it as dual boot with Windows XP. I have two internal hard drives - one for Linux and one for Windows. I also have a USB external hard drive that is 500GB with FAT32. It doesn't seem to have mounted properly. It doesn't show up as a drive. However, after browsing around I found that there is a /Windows/C and a /Windows/D. The C is my Windows drive (NTFS) and I can see the files there just fine. I think the D is my external HD. However, it doesn't show any of the files or directories that I have there.
I did poke around a little on the internet trying to find help. I learned about fstab. Here is what it says about it:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_5000AAKS_Externa_57442D574D41505731333632343634-0:0-part1 /windows/D vfat users,gid=3Dusers,umask=3D0002,utf8=3Dtrue 0 0
How do I get Linux to read/write to my external HD?
Thanks for your help.

i think, if it's external hard disk it will be mounted in "/media" not in "/Windows/". btw, what openSuSE version you use ? because, AFAIK, in 10.3 is already auto mounted when you connect it to computer. -- # rvJJax -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
